Diabetes

Diabetes is a devastating disease, it cripples, it kills and many think it's incurable. The truth is, it's curable if you really want to get better. I have read a lot about different treatments for diabetes over last few years, after all, my family has suffered enough from it. 2 family members are dead due to diabetes and the third one is almost blind.
Let's start by looking into causes, because causes give the best understanding on how to cure it. There are two main causes of diabetes, one if inability to produce enough insulin and another is inability to use insulin. First one is a characteristic of type 1 diabetes where the second is type 2. more often then not inability to produce insulin ends up effecting people with type 2 diabetes as well. Now let's look at these two causes even closer and see what causes the cause. Insulin production can be low due to weakened pancreas that was overworked because it needed to produce more and more insulin to make up for inability of the body to use all of it which is often seen in people with type 2 diabetes. It can also be due to distraction of cells in the pancreas by our own immune system which is the cause of type 1 diabetes. To simply say that autoimmune disease is the cause of type 1 diabetes is to say nothing, immune system got to this point somehow, so how? First immune system was most likely already compromised due to toxins, overuse of antibiotics, lack of healthy normal flora and so on. Plus whey protein. Here is the fact few know about, cow's milk has proteins that are hard for humans to digest, one of these proteins is whey protein. If we consume too much whey protein it ends up sitting in our system unable to be absorbed. Immune system figures it's a foreign body and builds antibodies that will attack and destroy this invader. Whey protein is similar in structure to insulin producing cells in the pancreas, so immune system gets confused and attacks pancreas, hence autoimmune disease.
Treatments for this problem are many, first of all, take care of pancreas, don't overwork it but instead eat foods that will help it. Flex seeds for example will actually help rebuild the pancreas cells. Second, fix immune system. Cut out animal products treated with antibiotics as this is one of the causes of immune system problems (actually in one article I read a few month ago it suggested low fat, low salt, low sugar, vegan diet and showed that results of this diet compared to regular diabetic diet is twice as effective in treatment of type 2 diabetes). Eat probiotics and prebiotics (foods that help normal flora already present grow). And cut down on whey protein including products made of cow's milk. As far as I know goat's milk is safe as it's closer to human milk then cow's milk is.
Inability of the body to use the insulin we should is usually caused to extra pounds to be more specific, fat cells. So, this one is easy and is part of treatment of type 2 diabetes in both traditional and alternative medicine. Loose the extra weight and you will be better.
Well, this is all for today, I will keep on adding more and more articles about different treatments of both types of diabetes as I go.
